Chapter 603 The ministers are waiting to beg, open the sea ban!
A sentence was like thunder in the sky, which shocked Liu Jian and all the officials to be at a loss.
How to not lift the sea ban?
All the officials showed a thoughtful look and quickly thought about what this son wanted to do.
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes gathered and fell on Yan Chengjin: "Speak up on Yan Qing's family!"
"Emperor Wen ordered the eunuch of the Three Treasures to go to the West, buy back a large amount of spices, ivory and other goods, and sell them with silk goods. Emperor Wen did not impose a ban on the sea, so Your Majesty can follow his example." Yan Chengjin bowed.
Zhu Di's trick was really clever.
Only the government is allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lamps. Violators are violated.
The officials were immediately anxious. You might as well open the ban on sea and make money together!
Emperor Hongzhi smiled on his face, and he thought it had solved his concerns: "It's up to you, just do it!"
Yang Tinghe was stunned.
The officials were confused and suddenly reacted: "Your Majesty, what is the difference between this move and the abolition of the sea ban? Since Your Majesty has decided, it is better to abolish the sea ban!"
"I beg you to abolish the sea ban!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
All the officials were so anxious that they jumped and made suggestions, fearing that Emperor Hongzhi would issue an order and the imperial court's ships would take over overseas trade.
Yang Tinghe's face was pale. This boy is really poisonous!
With the precedent of Emperor Wen's failure to unleash the sea ban and sending ships to trade in the sea, we can directly imitate it.
The ministers were forced to lift the ban on the sea themselves. This son, this son, is really the most vicious person in the world!
The scene gradually got out of control, and many ministers knelt on the ground holding the flue card. Li Dongyang's face was stiff and his mood could not calm down for a long time.
Xiao Jing's heart was tight and he said to himself: "Even the sea ban has been opened, Yan Chengjin has to be cleared. When you see him in the future, you have to bypass it."
Even civil servants can't fight together, what can he do?
Wang Shouren made a lot of gains. Today, the only person who can make him unable to figure it out is Brother Gao.
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "Then pass on my will and lift the sea ban!"
A strong and loud voice surrounds the beam for a long time, shaking the eardrums of all officials.
The Longqing switch has become a Hongzhi switch.
Yan Cheng was relieved. Although the sea ban was lifted, the important thing was to see who had more ships and who had larger ships.
Small boats can only carry 5,000 silk to sea, while large boats can carry 100,000 silk to sea.
And the cargo that can be carried by the return flight is also different.
银子都让良乡和朝廷赚了,这波不亏.
All officials were like in a dream, with high fighting spirit and strict discipline, and unexpectedly the ending would be like this.
At this moment, Yan Chengjin took out the fourth floor: "I beg you to build a dike at the entrance of the Yellow River to lead the Yellow River into the Grand Canal."
The water source of the Grand Canal of Beijing-Hangzhou is mainly derived from Weishan Lake in Shandong.
After the canal channel becomes wider, the water level of the canal will definitely drop.
The Yellow River water pours into the Grand Canal, which can make the boat drift deeper, and the river water is turbulent, which is conducive to sailing.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "How to obtain strong labor from outside the court? According to my opinion, if the monarch of the vassal state does not necessarily allow it if he does not send troops."
For a court, the most important thing is the population.
Two hundred thousand people in the Ming Dynasty may be just a county, but it is quite a number for the vassal states.
Li Dongyang said: "If Your Majesty has made up his mind, I think he can send someone to the vassal state."
Yan Chengjin nodded: "Mr. Li said very much, North Korea and Ryukyu owe me the kindness of the court.
If you promise to return the person within five years, it will be not difficult, you just need to get an imperial edict.
Only Annan needs someone to go on a mission.”
The court gave both kindness and power to Korea and Ryukyu. They were afraid of the Ming army and received favors from the Ming Dynasty.
Although it hurts to trade 200,000 people for peace, it is barely acceptable.
But Annan has never experienced the power of the Ming Dynasty's military strength, and has always been warlike and does not accept the control of the Ming Dynasty, so it will not be simple.
Emperor Hongzhi glanced around the hall: "Who are you willing to go to Annan?"
The fool is gone!
The wilderness of Annan is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. Along the way, you have to pass through Shugui, which is the southern barbarian land.
The ministers bowed their heads one after another, fearing that they would be chosen by Emperor Hongzhi.
Outside the hall, Zhu Houzhao was a little anxious. Lao Gao agreed to save Master Fei, but he did not mention a word.
He stepped on his legs and wanted to enter the hall, but the little eunuch hugged his thighs tightly: "Your Highness, it's the critical time, you can't go in!"
"Can your father send me to the palace?"
It would be better to go to Annan, he could still take a detour to Jiangnan to have fun.
I heard from the scholars in Liangxiang Library that the most fun place in the world is Jiangnan, and he hasn't been to Jiangnan yet.
The gatekeeper of Fengtian Palace was scared to death and ran over to catch Zhu Houzhao.
Emperor Hongzhi glanced across the hall, knowing that no one was willing to go, so he appointed someone: "The King of Rites, please go to Annan for the envoy."
Wang Xian's heart trembled slightly and he bowed to receive the order.
Korean was a little distressed and worried: "Just food and clothing alone are extremely expensive, and it is also possible to have a lot of silver tattoos. I'm afraid the national treasury cannot afford it."
How much food does 800,000 people have to eat every day? And I don’t know if there is any overseas money.
It is all made of Yan Cheng's brocade paintings. The Mangala Kingdom can bring back silver, but the island Kingdom still does not know the reality.
Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "Can your Majesty summon one person to the palace?"
Emperor Hongzhi didn't understand why, but he nodded. Yan Chengjin whispered a few words to Fang Xue, and Fang Xue quickly walked out of the hall.
Soon, he brought a vassal merchant back from outside the hall.
This time, the merchant wore a lab coat, a gold ornament around his neck, and his beard curled like a crescent moon, and his skin was much whiter than them.
He was so scared that his face was flustered and in a stiff Chinese language: "I have met the respected Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"
这些番商在良乡,倒是有些常见.
Emperor Hongzhi was not sure about this, and all the officials were a little angry. How could the vulgar foreigners be brought to the court?
"Sir Yan, what do you want to do?!"
Yan Chengjin was calm: "I heard from foreign merchants that there is a Huangzhou in the West, named Afili California. People with great strength and people who can lift three stones and huge stones are everywhere, and one person can do ten people's work.
They have dark skin and work long-term workers in many Western countries, only eating one meal, not money.”
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes shine, don't you want silver?
All officials were shocked. There was still a place called Afilica in the world. Are we ignorant?
The merchant knelt on the ground and shivered: "The respected Emperor of Ming Dynasty is absolutely true. The villain once hired them to pull carriages, serve as guards, and build city walls and fortresses. They can do anything."
Emperor Hongzhi was a little moved. One person could do ten jobs, and he didn’t have money, and he was still very powerful!
The ministers were suspicious, but looking at the appearance of the Shang Dynasty, it was not like nonsense.
"Where is Afili California?" asked Emperor Hongzhi.
The Fan Shang thought for a while: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty should know that Mangala and Afili California would go west a little."
If you just go a little west, it won't be far.
Wouldn't it be nice to hire them to dig the Grand Canal and send them back after digging?
At this moment, Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "I recommend Yang Tinghe to go to Africa California, to spread the court's kindness and look for Africa Californians."
Yang Tinghe's mouth twitched a few times, and his face turned pale.
Chapter completed!
